[General Questions and Answers] sercio:
so.. ist there any possibility to hack those unused space of ram with an custom rom or something? I mean 60MB makes about 50% of the ram which is currently used :S
[General Questions and Answers] sercio:
Am I the only one? Is there anyone else noting less RAM then 192mb with his Touch3G?
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
You can't "hack" it. some ROMs use less RAM and you get a nicer bigger amount of it since your OS takes less space.. you can find a ROM for your device with more RAM space... that's the best you can do.
[XPERIA X1 General] Paparasee:
Am new to Windows Mobile and would really appreciate if someone could answer atleast some of my doubts.

1) The speakers ... is that the loudest we can go? I have a P1i that I tweaked thanks to Swmail and its like real loud!

2) Most decent Nokia have a feature that when a call is received "speaks out" the caller name from the address book. Do we have a similar option in Xperia/ Windows Mobile?

3) When I receive a call, the callers name is almost invisible ... I mean its so small that a person like me having below average vision has trouble figuring out the caller's name! Is there no in built tweak to rectify this problem?

4) I have downloaded and installed the MyLostBlog HTC Calculator.cab ... why are all the backgrounds black for most softwares around here??? Is it not possible to adjust colours to go with the theme? I mean, can I just not install any software and the theme gives the software the looks?

Having got the Xperia, I'm now in a stage where I have to learn the OS fresh ... feels uncomfortable with all the small fonts and buttons. I'm now wondering if this was a mistake and if I should give up so soon or work my way into comfort zone!

Your advises and help will help me hang on!

Cheers!
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
1 - I'm sorry, but this was a mistake by SE. The speaker is awful, but there is nothing you can do about it. I wish we had stereo speakers on par with the N95 too. When I use it for video or audio, I always put my headphones. I don't see a problem about it. The only irritating thing is that you won't be able to hear the ringtome, but that is what vibration is for right?

2 - There are many programs that do this. I haven't tested them, because I find the feature annoying. Do it on your own risk:

Voice Call

Phone Tray Free

Ascendis Caller ID

Audio Caller ID

and many more. Just use google :).

3 - You need a program like SPB Phone Suit or PhoneEx 1.3 (the one I'm using). PhoneEx is great. Big names and numbers. It is very finger friendly.

4 - Because black = cool. After all everyone wants to be Mr. Black (10 points to whoever caught the reference :D). Anyways, HTC devices are black and the Xperia most people have is black, so people make programs with black fonts.

And no, the theme cannot change the colours of the programs that you install.

You say that you are a new WinMo user. Well, that means that you have to read and learn a lot of things. No way around that. WinMo is not intuitive. It is not like most of the smartphones or featurephones with their flashy, but often useless oparating systems. It is annoying at the beggining, but when you learn how it works and get the little quirks here and there, it will become the best operating system for ppc's.

Plus, there are literally countless number of applications for WinMo and a lot of them are free.

Xperia has great touchscreen that allows you to click even the little icons with ease. If it is not responsive, you should change the settings for the screen sensitivity. Start>Settings>Screen or use this method, but be careful what you do and read the instructions carefully:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=485037&highlight=screen+sensitivity

It really depends on what kind of phone you want. Xperia is perfect for me and as I have said before, I cannot imagine my life without it. If you want to have a pocket pc with you and if you are preapred to spend many hours reainstalling, hard-reseting and tweaking, then you have made the right choice.

A piece of advice I give to every newcomer:

Read the topics in this forum. Just open random topics and learn about your device. Use the search functions. 99% of all your question have been answered in other threads.

I had some experience with WinMo when I bought the X1, but I wasn't very good. Now, I have full control over every aspect of my device. It has integrated itself in my way of life. All thanks to this forum...

I don't want to promote myself in any way, but check this thread out. I have put some random thoughts concerning the X1 there :):

[XPERIA X1 General] dekeijzer:
For bigger incoming call notification you can also use a few other options:

-S2U2 has slide to answer support

-the touch HD caller also offers full screen caller ID

-resco (don`t know for sure)
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
Sorry but this is absolutely wrong... I used the OPTXperiabeta02.cab and experienced great loudness from that single speaker and hear the ring all the time, in fact the cab worked so well that I had to turn the sound down for calls as well... too loud...
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
No problem. We are here to help each other aren't we?

You can make it louder, but the SOUND QUALITY will not change. There is no bass and the high frequencies sound awful. The speaker is tiny and of bad quality. You had to turn it down, because the sound was unpleasant. Am I right?
[XPERIA X1 General] Gibbs:
I installed optxperia, too, and am very happy that I can hear my phone ringing better. The sound is somewhat distorted due to the limited speaker quality, so I turned it down. I am enjoying having good volume for games, alarms, and calls, though!

I don't need great speakers on a phone, because they are never going to equal the sound quality of good headphones, anyway. I always listen to music with really good headphones for a better listening experience, as I'm picky about sound quality.
[XPERIA X1 General] loyjwe:
i also help big problem looking at the caller id for incoming calls. stressing my eyes to do it. which application is better? where can i download PhoneEx 1.3?

thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] Paparasee:
Thanks orelsi for your detailed explanations ... it is really appreciated :)

A couple of googles later and I've got the Phonex 1.3.5 with which I am very happy now! Loyjwe ... if you are googling it, be sure to get the one for WM6.

@orelsi you mentioned a couple of programs such as Voice Call, Phone Tray Free, Ascendis Caller ID, Audio Caller ID. Do these work with windows mobile? I searched, but I go the general feeling that they were all for the regular windows.

As regards "black" ... yeah I guess I got myself the 10 points :D ... anyways, I'm a person that loves the colour blue and feel uncomfortable with black ... get a kind of "black is unlucky" feel! I'm certain I saw a link somewhere where I can set backgrounds everywhere to a picture I like ... guess I'll search for it!

@Shadowdh ... thank you for the OPTXperiabeta02.cab suggestion. Just got hold of it and will see if I'm happy with it :)

Generally .. a nice start! I guess I'll have more queries as I go along .., guess I really have to get used to WinMo :)

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
I prefer headphones too, but the N95's great stereo speakers + surround are something amazing...

I have tested many apps and I find that PhoneEx is the best for me personally. Remember that it messes with your 3G video calling though. I hope they fix that in future versions.:confused:

No problemo. Feel free to ask :D, that's what I did hehe...

You can change the backgrounds in the menus of WinMo (the general theme), but I don't think you can change the colours of diff programs. That is what you wanted right?

I'm sorry abut the apps. I said that I never tested any of them. I just googled them :D. I asked around a little bit and here is what I got :).

Try these:

Mobile Speak - (this one is for blind people, but maybe it can be set to say only callers' names and nothing else)

MS Voice Commander has such an option.

HollerID

[XPERIA X1 General] aussiebum:
Seriously, if u hate the tiny fonts and un-user friendly UI on the X1, read up and flash a custom ROM.

Like "dumbphones", the ROM/firmware in WinMo phones can be upgraded. The biggest advantage / benefit of WinMo over any of the other "smartphone" OS's around is that there are loads of ppl who are willing to setup and build customised firmwares so u get the benefits and features of other (HTC!) phones....

Read up on "HardSPL" in the Custom ROMs section and give it a go - if u do it right there's no way u'll brick your phone and it'll come out the otherside like a brand new (completely different + better!) phone... :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
Hi mate... sorry for the seemingly terse post above, was studying for exams and so was trying to be quick...

Yes we are indeed mate... I did not have to turn it down due to rubbish quality rather it was very very loud... like another poster mentioned I tend to use earphones for listening to podcasts (rather than music) and when I play video its usually pretty decent if through the speakers... sure its not dolby etc but hey its such a little bitty speaker... :D

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WhO_KnOwS:
I've been looking for a good app that would lock the 4 buttons on an incoming call and do nothing else, but so far I have been unsuccessful. All the apps that are capable of doing this usually come with several strings attached, one of which is usually a whole new interface for the dialer.

What I am looking for is simple - when a call is incoming I want the 4 keys to be locked, but the screen to remain unlocked, so I can use the slide to answer part of the dialer.

Does such an app exist or if it doesn't, would somebody with the appropriate skills be able to write one?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tkolev:
LockMeLite 1.3 does this. Only other thing except that is it locks the screen when you wake up the phone, so it is not so 'heavy' application like s2u2 for example.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WhO_KnOwS:
Thanks, but I was aware of LockMeLite. And as stated in the first post, this app forces screen locking on me. If I was able to disable the screenlock and keep the button lock during call active I'd be a happy camper.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tkolev:
Well, you can disable screenlock on incoming call, and if screenlock on power button press is so much of an issue for you... maybe if you ask the developer kindly, he will disable this feature just for you (or in the next version) :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] xmsnx:
I was hoping for that kind of program too :( The best so far is AE button and put call/hangup on double tab. Wish someone could make a prog just to disable buttons on incoming call :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Judebox:
I'm looking for this kind of app too !!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gbjack:
I think during conversation, the keys became unlock. It only lock when you have an incoming call and before you pick up that call.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ugumba:
Try TouchLockPro (link in sig). Version 2.6 is the first release which is usable on the HD as the sole locking utility. It is very configurable, so I think you'll achieve what you want.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bobvodka:
On friday my trusty MPV M3100 decided to give up the ghost, so as I was in London I decided to look for a new phone and picked up an Touch Diamond 2.

And I have to say; I love it.

Best phone I've had and even the lack of a hardware keyboard hasn't bothered me.

There is only one thing which has caused me some bother; on all my previous phones when an sms/mms has been recieved the screen will turn on for a while to alert me of this, however I can't find a way to do the same thing with the TD2.

The reason I would like this is down to me mostly leaving my phone on silent but in line of sight. The silent factor is because I'm often doing things with headphones on (such as at work) and I'm not going to hear the tone anyways.

So, while the green light is nice and all being able to have the screen turn on as an option would be nice..

As a coder by trade I've been poking around to see what I could do to let me do this myself, however if someone has a better solution or knows of an app which can already do it then I'd appricate it if they could tell me :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ormz:
There is a setting in:

All Settings->Personal->Sounds & Notifications->Notifications

Then select Messaging: New Text Message from the drop down list, and there is an option there "Flash Light For: x Minutes"

This might be what you're looking for?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bobvodka:
thanks for the reply, however I'd already found that option and it only effects the green light which flashes when you get a messag; nice and stuble in keeping with the device but not what I'm after :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] oruam57:
Look for this registry value

just curious what program you guys are using to edit registry values...

sorry if this is a stupid question, but i'm new to Windows Mobile.. up until the D2 i've always have symbian phones.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bobvodka:
I just did a google for "win mobile reg editor" and installed PHM Regedit to do the job.

Although I'm going to write a quick app to let me toggle this particular setting I think (i'll probably post the resulting cab/exe here encased others want it)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ormz:
Thank Oruam, great tweak.

I currently have the option selected to display a new sms message on screen as soon as it arrives, is it possible when i hit reply to get the device to go to the touch flow threaded messaging system rather than the WM6.1 default?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ozmbie:
Thanks guys!

Is there any way to have it vibrate & play a sound, but not enable the touch screen? The reason I ask is that I dont want the screen to come on while it's in my pocket etc, and things start to get accidentally pressed!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] benslaptop:
Awesome! Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pipposat69:
I'm sorry ormz.

I'm interesting for that option to have flash light blinking when sms/mail arrives, unfortunately I haven't got the option you mentioned into my settings referred to "new SMS".

I've got the original rom installed (italian version).

May I arrange same setting/option into register also if I haven't it on display?

Could someone help me?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] georgeono:
lock the device:

"real lock" - press the hang button (the one on the right) until it shows unlock at the bottom left side

stand-by - press the power button only for 1 second and the screen will go off. When receiving a message, the screen stays black. To see menu-s again, press again power button for 1 second

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vishalkishnani:
Well...I would love to see a software where we can have Blinking white LED signal light on the round scroll panel. Unlike HTC TOUCH where they have blinking green led to show that phone is recieving signals, there is no such thing in Diamond. LED flashes only on unread sms, missed calls , incoming calls and on charging the phone. But there is no blinking light for signals. If somebody would make it , that would be great as i love that white light around the ring scroll.

So if any mastermind in making CAB please bring out something like this.

I have Manila Touchflow installed. Recently I've installed WeatherDatabaseEditor and HTCWeatherMaster to edit the weather tab settings. I wanted to add a new city which was not on the list, but failed to do that. So I uninstalled both programs.

Now the weather tab is not working. Touchflow loads fine with other tabs, only when I press the weather tab, the touchflow restarts loading again.

Does anyone know how to fix it? Any help is really appreciated.

Also, does anyone show me how to free up some space in My Device storage (not internal storage)? Are there any files that I can delete or uninstall some unnecessary programs? Thank you so much.

I'm just curious to know whether people have run WOW on the shift yet? I understand that it'd be small... and not very high res. But my question is whether it'd be playable. I read a review for it, and it was mentioned, although to no detail whatsoever.

Another question is, how much of a difference is there in speed between xp, vista, and win7 on the shift?

I'm picking one up this week (to go along with my Touch HD) because I need a different kind of gadgetting experience (more stuff to do).

Thanks to any and all who give me feedback on these questions. ;)

[Shift General] labnotes:
WOW is playable but choppy. When theres a lot of movement going on it really gets choppy. Whenever I point the camera angle down where Im looking at the ground, movement gets a little better. If you plan on doing raids, it's not playable. Quests can be played with the help of tomtom, questhelper and hotkeys. But if you happen to live in the auction house, you can check up on your auctions 24~7.

Hope this helps... I haven't played WOW in 2 months since I got my shift. =P
[Shift General] Caid444:
Thanks!

I went through the painful process of copying wow from my computer to my shift. I played it for a few minutes, but I was unable to type /g to talk to my guild mates, as there's no / key. Any idea how to do that? The 7 key looks to alternately be the / key, but no button combination was able to make it come out.

Grrr.

I'm going to try playing again when I've got win 7 on there, perhaps I'll get a few more frames per second... ;) We'll see.

Thanks for the reply and info, by the way.

[Shift General] Caid444:
No go...

I got win 7 all loaded up and attempted to run wow a few times, but each time I got a nasty bsod. I'm not sure what exactly the problem is, but It's a bit disheartening. I was really looking forward to running win7 on the shift, but playing wow on it is more important to me, so I guess it's back to XP for me (as opposed to vista, only for speed.)

[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
Isn't there a downloadable XP compatibility mode you can install on Windows 7?
